Spatiotemporal profiling of Fat family genes highlights Fat2 as a novel marker of outer enamel epithelium and stratum intermedium
Fat genes have cell-type-specific and developmentally regulated expression during tooth development. Among them, Fat2 emerges as a novel marker of OEE and SI, and it may contribute to epithelial identity and differentiation during odontogenesis.
